Rapier Champs: A request from the Gazette

≈ Comments Off on Rapier Champs: A request from the Gazette

Greetings to the Fencers of the Kingdom from the Editors of the East Kingdom Gazette,

We at the Gazette would again like to report on the King’s and Queen’s Rapier Champion tourney much the same way we do Crown Tourney, as we continue to expand our coverage of important kingdom events and tourneys.

One of the things that makes it easier to cover tourneys like this is having the list of combatants in advance, to make it easier for our on site reporters to get posts up. Unlike Crown Tourney, Rapier Champs has no requirement for a letter of intent or pre-event sign up.

We have created an online poll with the intent of getting as many names as possible pre-typed and spelled correctly. We have the permission of Master Donovan to do so, however this is in no way official or binding. You will still need to sign up for the tourney when you arrive on site. We fully understand that we will not reach every fencer who may be competing, but each fencer we do reach is one more name spelled correctly we won’t have to type in the moment.

The form can be found here

Thank you for helping us share the day with those who are unable to be there.  If you have any questions, please email us at eastkingdomgazette@gmail.com. Please share this widely so that we can reach as many combatants as possible.

Unto the Rapier Fighters of the East Kingdom do I, Master Frasier MacLeod
send greetings,

marshal-rapier--1000

My time in the office of Kingdom Rapier Marshal grows short, and I must put out the call for resumes for any who feel the call to service this office requires.  If you are interested in filling the position of Kingdom Rapier Marshal for the Kingdom of the East, please e-mail your name (both modern and SCA), your contact information (both e-mail and phone, please), and your SCA resume with any skills and experience that would lend itself to this position to myself, Their Majesties, and Their Highnesses.  I am not sure who among Them will be making the ultimate decision on who will succeed me in this office, so I am asking you to contact Them all.  If you have any questions regarding the office, the responsibilities, and/or what you might encounter, please feel free to contact me privately and I will answer your queries as best I can.  I do not know what sort of timeframe Their Majesties and Their Highnesses will be looking to accept resumes, but I would assume They would like to have Their choice made before Their Highnesses’ Coronation.  So get those resumes in!  I look forward to retirement, but before that, I want to make sure we have the right candidate in place to carry the Rapier Community forward into a bright future.
Thank you all in advance,
Master Frasier MacLeod, KRM, East

We’ve got a new site with lots of space, but the site is outdoors, so feel free to bring shade and seating. If it looks like the weather is against us, I will announce plans for an alternate site near the end of February, so stay tuned.
11:00-5:00 Sunday, March 4th, 2018
Westampton Sports Complex
301 Bridge St, Westampton, NJ 08060
There will be plenty of time and space for pick-ups and, of course, some melee practice.
You can direct any questions to me.

badge Earl Marshal

I’m going to hold an open-to-all unified marshals’ meeting at Birka, 3pm on Saturday, in the Frost Room. (I know the equestrians are also meeting then. They can come on in when they’re done. There will be plenty of time for them.)

I’m going to talk about my proposed change for the tenure of the Earl Marshal, catch up with all my supervisory concerns, outline what I’m looking for in the next Deputy Marshal for Armored Combat, and generally address questions and issues any of our groups may have.

 Vis
East Kingdom Earl Marshal
